Gates Ventures, Mayo Clinic Back Tiny Robot Created By $400M Apple Face ID Inventors To Treat Brain Disease

OurCrowd

By Matthew Kalman PrimeSense, the previous company founded by Michael Shpigelmacher, Aviad Maizels and Alex Shpunt, was acquired in 2013 by Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) for around $400 million. It was a world leader in 3D sensors that helped power the Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) Kinect for Xbox 360 and provided the technology behind Apple’s Face ID. Bionaut Labs, the medical startup founded by the trio, is on a very different journey – into the deepest recesses of the human brain. But the company is already making waves. This month, Bill Gates’ Gates Ventures joined its early funders, extending investment to $70 million from a blue-chip roster including the Mayo Clinic, Khosla Ventures, Upfront Ventures and OurCrowd, Fortune magazine reported. The company’s Bionaut, a tiny micro-robot smaller than a grain of rice, is guided through a patient’s central nervous system into a targeted spot in the brain where it can perform minor surgery, deliver therapeutic drugs or return with tissue for a biopsy. Not since Raquel Welch was shrunk and inserted into a patient’s bloodstream in the 1966 movie “Fantastic Voyage” have doctors come so close to targeting life-saving medication so precisely to reach the inaccessible recesses of the human body. The company is testing its technology at a Mayo Clinic facility and is poised to begin clinical trials with five top-tier U.S. medical centers as it applies for FDA approval. Investors can still join the Bionaut Labs funding round via the OurCrowd investment platform. Shpigelmacher, CEO of Bionaut Labs, says he realized that treatments for disease occurring at a specific point in the body – especially the brain – were not being accurately targeted. He likens the effect of existing treatments to “carpet bombing a patient’s body with drugs,” creating “widespread undesired side effects or damage to surrounding tissue and organs.” “There we were, flooding the whole body. It was like having one dirty dish in the sink and bringing out a fire hose that floods the whole house just to wash that single dish,” he says. The Bionaut, guided by a physician using a powerful magnet, can release a payload of targeted therapy directly into a tumor or any other localized target – even deep inside the brain – and head for home. “Surgeries to get to the brain tend to be relatively aggressive and fairly in depth and carry a lot of risks associated with them and a lot of recovery time,” says Dr Bill Loudon, VP of Neuroscience at Bionaut Labs. The blood-brain barrier creates “very significant problems to try to get drugs to where we want it to go. On the surgical side it’s hard to get into the brain and on the drug side it’s hard to get into the tissues.” “The Bionaut has specific advantages that circumvent these problems. It truly represents a whole new level,” Dr Loudon says. The company has developed several micro-robot prototypes, each designed for a different purpose. There is a capsule-shaped Bionaut designed to move through fluid, a corkscrew-shaped Bionaut designed to burrow through tissue and a sharp-pointed Bionaut that can perform microsurgery by slicing through the kind of cyst in the brain that causes hydrocephalus, or Dandy-Walker Syndrome. A Bionaut can carry a therapeutic payload and deliver it directly to the targeted area, which avoids flooding the entire central nervous system. Instead of drilling through several centimeters of brain tissue, the Bionaut can be guided through internal fluids to within millimeters of its target. “We minimize tissue penetration, doing it only for the safest and shortest distance possible. It opens a completely new way of treating brain diseases,” Shpigelmacher says. Each tiny Bionaut contains a powerful magnet that allows it to be remotely controlled from outside the body. The patient has an MRI or CT scan, which the physician uses to plan the safest route to the affected area and then loads the route onto a computer. The patient is sedated and the Bionaut is injected into the central nervous system at the entry point worked out in advance. Then, the computer takes over, guiding the probe to its destination while causing the least possible damage to surrounding tissue as the physician monitors its progress via X-ray. $130 Billion Market “The market for brain and CNS therapeutics is massive – over $130 billion today and estimated to grow to over $200 billion. Most of it is drugs,” Shpigelmacher says. Pharma giants are targeting a wide range of neuro-degenerative conditions including Parkinson’s, Huntington’s, Alzheimer’s, epilepsy, glioblastoma and many more, but they all face the challenge of getting the drugs to the point where they are needed inside the brain. “The problem is, even if you have the best drug how are you going to get it to the target?” Shpigelmacher says. “This is where Bionaut steps in. Bionaut does not aim to replace these drugs or replace these payloads. It aims to provide a way for the drug manufacturer to get their payload to the target. So even if we just focus on neuro-degeneration, brain cancer and epilepsy – that alone is over a $70 billion market today.” “We’re already in discussions with the FDA to take this to the clinic next year. The idea is that by the end of 2024 we will have early human data for the device, and in 2025 we will license it out for broader neurological indications,” Shpigelmacher says. The company hopes to emulate the success of other companies specializing in robotic surgery and the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ: ISRG), a leader in surgical robotics, is worth more than $100 billion. Halozyme (NASDAQ: HALO), which partners with major pharma companies to reformulate drugs for precision use, earns millions of dollars each year and is valued at almost $5 billion. “When we started this research, many of the physicians we spoke to, specialists in cardiology, gastroenterology, ophthalmology and more, simply asked, ‘When can we sign up?’” Shpigelmacher says.

Argentina Is On Its Way To Dollarization And Here's How Gaucho Group Holdings (NASDAQ: VINO) Is Set Up To Capitalize

Benzinga

By Faith Ashmore, Benzinga Earlier in November, Argentina elected right-wing libertarian Javiar Milei as president; he ran on the promise of economic shock therapy, which resonated with voters. One of his biggest action items was to adopt the U.S. dollar and leave Argentina’s peso behind. This solution is seen by Milei’s supporters as a way to reduce the country’s runaway inflation and minimize the government’s overspending. While there is criticism of this plan, certain factions of the country support it full-heartedly. Some Argentinians have already adopted the U.S. dollar for domestic transitions like Airbnb rentals and even wages. Individuals in the real estate market have been supportive, especially as property prices are on the rise and there was a 53.3% increase in property deeds signed in October compared to the previous year. For some of these investors, dollarization equates to increased profit. Argentina’s Gaucho Group Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: VINO), which focuses on luxury industries and luxury real estate, seems well-positioned to be a leader in the space as Argentina’s economy rebounds. Gaucho Holdings has been investing in the Argentinian market since 2007 and has long understood the power of dollarization. The company currently charges in USD while incurring expenses in pesos so that if dollarization comes to fruition, the company would be positioned to realize a potential hundreds of thousands per year in revenue increase. The global luxury market is witnessing growth in light of a resurgence of social interactions and travel. The global luxury market is expected to reach $1.6 trillion in 2023, witnessing 8-10% growth over 2022. Despite macroeconomic challenges, the luxury market has shown resilience, and companies like Gaucho Group Holdings seem to be gearing up for growth. Scott Mathis, Chairman and CEO of Gaucho Holdings, shared, "In the immediate future, spanning about 6 to 8 months, we anticipate a substantial benefit from our USD rates against our labor costs in ARS, which represent a significant portion of our expenses. However, looking ahead to the next 10 to 12 months, we expect these advantages might reduce or possibly even disappear as labor unions in Argentina are likely to seek wage increases in response to economic changes. Despite these challenges, the first 8 months should witness a positive economic impact due to President Milei's pivotal reforms. The year 2024 is shaping up to be challenging, yet it presents opportunities, particularly in the real estate sector, which is poised to become a key driver of economic activity. Additionally, the banking sector's role in offering reasonable lending rates will be crucial during this period. We are committed to playing a significant role in this dynamic and evolving economic landscape, contributing to and thriving amidst these transformative changes." Gaucho Holdings emphasizes a critical aspect of the potential benefits of dollarization in Argentina, particularly in the realm of banking and real estate financing. A significant shift would occur if Argentine banks transitioned from dealing predominantly in pesos to using U.S. dollars. This change could pave the way for the reintroduction of traditional lending practices, including mortgages, which are currently almost non-existent in the country. In Argentina's current economic landscape, real estate transactions are predominantly cash-based. This is a concept that often seems foreign to Americans and Europeans, who are accustomed to financing such purchases through mortgages. Gaucho Holdings posits that allowing banks to offer lending in U.S. dollars could revolutionize the Argentine real estate market. It would not only provide a more accessible path for property acquisition but also potentially lead to a stabilization of the currency. The implications of this shift could be profound. By facilitating easier access to property ownership through bank lending, there could be a significant increase in real estate values. Gaucho Holdings suggests that the impact on the real estate market could be stratospheric, marking a transformative change in how properties are bought and sold in Argentina. Gaucho Holdings has emerged as a prominent player in the Argentine real estate market due to its strategic entry, well-established operations and diverse portfolio. Backed by a highly experienced management team, the company possesses a deep understanding of the market dynamics. With a focused mission to identify and cultivate opportunities in the undervalued luxury real estate sector of Argentina, Gaucho Holdings stands at the cusp of potential success amidst the recent political and socioeconomic changes in the country. If Milei can make good on his promise of dollarization, Gaucho Holdings is confident that profit will follow.

RapidClaims uses AI to help US healthcare providers address $250b in denied claims

RapidClaims

Healthcare organizations are turning to automation with “revenue cycle management” to protect operating margins and the increasing claim denials from the payors. Every year, close to $265B in claims made by US healthcare organizations are denied because of the way claims are coded on payor documentation and delayed submissions are two chief reasons for the denials. Coding errors account for over 40% of claim denials, while untimely submissions contribute to 35% of denials; eligibility and prior authorization being some of the other aspects playing a significant role. Addressing this pain point, RapidClaims has today emerged from stealth with a $3.1 million funding round to tackle the claims denial problem head-on with its medical coding automation module. The seed round was led by Together Fund, a $250 million global SaaS fund, with participation from Better Capital, Neon Fund, Peercheque, DeVC with angels and advisors coming from prominent US healthcare organizations including Oscar Benavidez (Executive Director, Mass General), Ankit Jain (Founder & CEO of Infinitus), and Sachin Jain (President & CEO of Scan Health) among others. RapidClaims is led by Dushyant Mishra (CEO), Jot Sarup Sahni (CPTO), and Abhinay Vyas (CDO), each bringing a nuanced understanding of healthcare, data science, and scaling tech products. The idea for RapidClaims originated in 2018 during Dushyant Mishra’s tenure at Abbott Healthcare when he observed the challenges faced by hospitals while interacting with multiple hospital owners and physicians. Since then, he has closely monitored the space, which gained significant momentum in 2022 as two key trends emerged: an increase in claim denial rates across the US and the effective demonstration of large language models (LLMs) as a solution to these challenges. RapidClaims recognizes the diverse challenges inherent in revenue cycle management. With a strategic focus on tackling medical coding initially, the company aims to simplify the rising complexity of coding processes and leverage the potential for AI to drive efficiencies over time. In recent years, coding complexity has surged significantly with diagnosis codes like ICD codes rising from 19,000 (ICD 9) to nearly 120,000 (ICD 11). Adherence to guidelines is becoming increasingly challenging due to rapid changes encompassing NCCI edits, NCD/LCD guidelines, Medicare policies, payor rule sets, among others. RapidClaims has achieved success with six pilots within two months of its beta product launch in June 2023 and is poised to enhance product robustness even further with an additional five pilots already in the pipeline. Dushyant Mishra, Founder & CEO of RapidClaims commented: "We are just beginning to witness tangible benefits in terms of cost savings, speed, and revenue enhancement through AI utilization. While automation is pivotal, we recognize the indispensable role of coders with their nuanced understanding of intricate rules and edge cases. This is the driving force behind our significant investment in the RapidAssist product, which has the transformative potential to elevate medical coding operations for coder-managing teams." AI holds immense potential for introducing exceptional efficiencies into this domain. Beyond identifying the right code, AI's current state allows for precise context interpretation, adding a layer of sophistication to the coding process. RapidClaims has unveiled three multi-specialty products aimed at alleviating coding administrative overload: RapidCode: Fully autonomous medical coding, streamlining the process with end-to-end automation. RapidAssist: A tailored tool for medical coders designed to improve productivity by auditing charts and identifying documentation gaps, which includes a query builder and rule-set engine. RapidRisk: Advanced AI for risk-adjusted coding that calculates HCC and RAF scores while pinpointing opportunities for documentation improvement based on a comprehensive rule set developed in collaboration with prominent CDI leaders. More healthcare organizations are recognizing the need for revenue cycle automation to overcome workforce challenges, handle increasing claim volumes, mitigate revenue losses, and navigate the complexities of healthcare administration. This urgency is further fueled by the rise in claim denials from payors, which puts significant pressure on healthcare providers and exacerbates the already high administrative costs. A recent study conducted by Bain & Company and KLAS reveals that 80% of U.S. healthcare providers are increasing their investment in IT and software, with a specific focus on prioritizing AI technologies. Revenue cycle transformation and automation are the top areas of focus for healthcare executives. Manav Garg, Co-founder of Together Fund added: "We are thrilled about the transformative potential of AI in optimizing administrative processes within the revenue cycle. We are confident that the RapidClaims team embodies the perfect blend of expertise, showcasing an in-depth understanding of the complexities within the U.S. healthcare system coupled with exceptional proficiency in artificial intelligence." About RapidClaims RapidClaims is automating medical coding to help health organizations reduce claim denials from payors. About Together Fund Together Fund is an enterprise software-focused, operator-led fund started by Girish Mathrubootham (Founder, Freshworks ), Manav Garg (Founder, Eka ) and Shubham Gupta (ex Matrix Partners).

This section delves into how to safeguard yourself from psychic scams, both in-person and online, ensuring your foray into the mystical world of tarot and psychic readings is both enriching and secure. In-Person Psychic Reading Scams In-person psychic readings can provide a profoundly personal experience, but they are not immune to scams.

Genuine psychics and tarot card reading practitioners provide specific, relevant information tailored to you. Curses and Spells: A classic scam is the claim that you or your family are cursed, with the offer to remove this curse for a high fee. Authentic psychic readings aim to empower, not instill fear or extract money for additional services. Expensive Rituals or Talismans: Be cautious of psychics insisting on the need for expensive rituals, talismans, or “magic” items to bring about change in your life. Tips for vetting psychics before scheduling a session: Research: Look for reviews and testimonials from previous clients. Reputable psychic companies often have a strong online presence and positive feedback from those they’ve helped. Ask for Recommendations: Word-of-mouth can be a powerful tool. Ask friends or family if they can recommend a trustworthy psychic. Listen to Your Intuition: If something feels off during a consultation, trust your instincts. A genuine psychic should make you feel comfortable and understood.

Detailed Insights into Tarot Card Reading The Structure and Significance of Tarot Decks Tarot decks are a mystifying collection of cards, each rich with symbolism and meaning, offering deep insights into the complexities of life. A standard tarot deck is divided into two main sections: the Major Arcana and the Minor Arcana. The Major Arcana consists of 22 cards, each representing life's significant lessons and karmic influences. These cards are pivotal, highlighting major life events or personal revelations. On the other hand, the Minor Arcana, comprising 56 cards, reflects the day-to-day activities, challenges, and joys that shape our journey. Within the Minor Arcana, there are four suits (Cups, Pentacles, Swords, and Wands), each associated with a specific aspect of human experience—emotion, material wealth, intellect, and creativity, respectively. Understanding the structure and significance of tarot decks is crucial for both novices and seasoned practitioners, as it forms the foundation of a meaningful tarot card reading. Common Spreads and Their Meanings In the realm of tarot reading, spreads play a crucial role in framing the context and direction of the reading. A "spread" refers to the pattern in which the cards are laid out after shuffling. Each position in the spread has a unique meaning, and the cards' placement offers specific insights. The Three-Card Spread, for example, is one of the most straightforward and commonly used layouts, representing past, present, and future. It provides a quick, yet profound, overview of the querent's life trajectory. For more detailed readings, the Celtic Cross is a popular choice among psychic companies and independent readers alike. This ten-card spread offers deep insights into complex situations, covering everything from the immediate past and future possibilities to underlying feelings and external influences. Each spread has its own strengths, and selecting the right one can greatly enhance the accuracy and relevance of a tarot reading. ==> Elevate Your Insight: Engage With a Tarot Expert. <== How Tarot Readings Can Offer Insights and Guidance Tarot readings serve as a mirror to the soul, offering clarity and guidance amid life's uncertainties.

Selecting Your Communication Method: Psychic reading online services typically offer various communication methods, including chat, phone, or video calls. Each method has its benefits, which we'll explore in the next section. Receiving Your Reading: At the scheduled time, you'll receive your reading through the chosen communication method. Ensure you're in a quiet, private space where you can focus on the experience and interact with your psychic reader without interruptions. The Benefits of Different Communication Methods Chat: Offers convenience and anonymity, allowing you to receive a reading in any setting, even if you're in a public place.

It allows both parties to pick up on non-verbal cues, making the session feel more connected and insightful. Privacy and Confidentiality Considerations When engaging in tarot reading online or psychic readings, it's crucial to consider privacy and confidentiality. Reputable psychic companies prioritize these aspects, ensuring that your readings and personal information are kept secure. Before booking, check the platform's privacy policy and security measures to understand how your data is protected.

This fascination has led to an upsurge in the popularity of tarot card reading and psychic readings, particularly in the digital realm, with tarot reading online and psychic reading online services becoming increasingly sought after. Amidst this rise, psychic companies have emerged as pivotal players, providing platforms for individuals to explore the realms of the unseen and the unknown. The Role of Skepticism and Belief in Psychic Readings The intersection of skepticism and belief plays a crucial role in the world of tarot and psychic readings. For many, skepticism acts as a gatekeeper, a critical filter through which the insights and revelations offered by readings must pass. Yet, it is belief – the willingness to embrace the possibility of unseen forces and unexplained phenomena – that allows the magic of tarot reading and psychic guidance to flourish. This delicate balance between skepticism and belief not only shapes the individual's experience but also influences the extent to which they allow these readings to impact their personal decision-making.

Integrating Psychic Guidance into Personal Decision-Making Integrating psychic reading insights into personal decision-making is an art form, requiring a nuanced understanding of the messages received. Whether it's a tarot card reading that reveals hidden fears and desires, or a psychic reading online that connects you with guidance from beyond, the key is to view these insights as tools for reflection rather than directives. By contemplating the symbolism and messages within tarot readings and psychic insights, individuals can gain new perspectives on their situations, empowering them to make choices that align with their deepest truths and aspirations. Ethical Considerations of Psychic Readings The ethical considerations surrounding tarot and psychic readings are paramount, encompassing issues of boundaries, consent, and the responsible use of insights. Psychic companies and readers must navigate these waters with care, ensuring that their services respect the autonomy and dignity of those seeking guidance. This includes maintaining confidentiality, avoiding the imposition of personal biases, and acknowledging the limits of psychic insight. Ethical practice in tarot reading online and psychic reading online not only fosters trust and respect between reader and client but also upholds the integrity of the psychic reading profession. As we delve deeper into the world of tarot and psychic readings, these additional considerations remind us of the complexity and depth that these practices add to our lives. They challenge us to think critically, integrate wisely, and navigate ethically, enriching our journey towards self-discovery and informed decision-making. ==> Unlock Mystical Insights: Schedule Your Psychic Consultation. <== Embracing the Mystical Path: The Legitimacy and Value of Modern Psychic Readings In the digital age, the mystical world of tarot and psychic readings has transcended the confines of mysterious backrooms and candlelit corners. Today, tarot card reading and psychic readings have flourished online, offering insightful guidance at the click of a button. This surge in popularity begs the question of the legitimacy and value of modern psychic readings. As we navigate through the sea of psychic companies offering tarot reading online and psychic reading online, it's crucial to approach these services with an informed and open-minded perspective. The Legitimacy of Psychic Readings The realm of psychic readings has always been shrouded in skepticism. Yet, the evolution of psychic reading online services has prompted a more discerning examination of its legitimacy. Psychic companies today employ stringent screening processes to ensure that the psychic readings provided are not only insightful but also ethical and professional. The transition from in-person to tarot reading online has not diluted the quality; instead, it has expanded the accessibility of tarot and psychic readings to those seeking spiritual guidance across the globe.

The Value of Tarot and Psychic Insights The true value of a tarot card reading or psychic reading lies in its ability to provide perspective. Whether it's a question about love, career, or personal growth, tarot reading online offers a reflective mirror to our subconscious mind. It's not about predicting the future with absolute certainty but about unlocking the doors to self-awareness and potential paths that lay ahead. Psychic readings, when approached with an open heart and mind, can serve as a valuable tool in personal development and decision-making processes. Navigating the World of Psychic Readings Online With the abundance of psychic reading online services, it's paramount to conduct thorough research before selecting a psychic company. Look for reviews, the company’s screening process for psychics, and the variety of readings offered. This due diligence ensures that you connect with genuinely gifted psychics who can provide meaningful insights and guidance.

It's an invitation to explore the deeper aspects of your psyche and the universe's mysterious workings. ==> Enrich Your Perspective: Book Your Tarot Session Now. <== Contact Details 3D Chess Media Amanda Grant +1 775-373-2692 Amanda@3dchessmedia.com Company Website https://3dchessmedia.com
